Der Tautropfen und sein Blümlein
 (Sung text for setting by F. Silcher)
 Matches original text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CHI CHI ENG
Du Tropfen Thau, seh' ich dich an,
Kömmt mir die Thräne süß und still,
Weil du so treu dein Blümlein liebst,
Wie ich wohl einmal lieben will.

Und trennt dich auch an jedem Tag
Von deinem Lieb' der Sonnenschein,
Du kehrst an Abend stets zurück!
So muß wohl treue Liebe sein.

Und stirbt dein Lieb, vom Sonnenbrand,
Dann stirbst auch du im letzten Kuß!
Ich seh' dich an, und sinne still,
Wie solch ein Tod beglücken muß!
